I’m just asking, let’s do it without outright lies, as if everything will be fine. I am very interested to read your sincere answers. You can write to me personally if you want.

    Over the next few years, the world will continue to heat, probably consistent with an exponential curve as we have been seeing for the last few decades. The AMOC (Atlantic meridional overturning circulation -current taking warm water from the Gulf to Europe) is slowing and could shut down at any time. Probably some time after 2030, but not long after.

    Insect populations are still in freefall and so is soil aridification/nutrients loss. And with the loss of so many farm hands, it seems quite likely that a collapse of agriculture is on the table.

    Fascism will continue to worsen and a world war seems quite likely. Civil war if not. Or maybe both. That’d be fun.

    The medical system in the USA will be so strained from the cuts that there will be 10,000’s of deaths. Not that there are not currently, but the death rate in the country is certain to rise.

    There could be a notable development in the Thwaites glacier in Antarctica. It could collapse and break up really any time. It’s being melted from underneath and it doesn’t look good. That one glacier could raise sea levels by about 10 ft I think.

    Ongoing sea water heating and acidification is devastating coral reefs and biodiversity. This is compounded by the fertilizers that are being used in ever increasing amounts due to the aforementioned soil degradation. The fertilizers cause algal blooms which devour all the O2 in the water and then die off leaving a dead zone. These dead zones have been expanding and becoming more frequent.

    Weather radar systems in the USA are being refunded, dismantled or attacked by terrorists at a rapid rate, so most likely there will be massive storms that are complete wild cards in that we will have no forewarning, no expectations of strength, no flight paths, no updating data. This will directly lead to many thousands of deaths.

    There are many more horrifying things going on that will clap our collective cheeks in the coming decade/decades. It’s sure to be fun.

        I’m the wrong person to ask. My plan from the beginning has been “die fighting before it gets too bad” and it’s looking like that time is rapidly approaching.

        All Oppressors Must Die.

          Well, to have fun to the fullest, I think you’ll need a clear plan and anonymity if you mean fighting bad people. If yes, then paranoia won’t hurt you, believe me, it helps if you don’t abuse it.

            It’s a real shame those with similar views must needs be so scared to open up about it and find friends, due to the constant infiltration by pathetic feds bent on enforcing the will of capital.

            If only there were some way to avoid such traps.
